I am brooding chicks for the third time and I lost 2 a few days ago. Now I’ve had them about 8 days and my Easter Egger won’t walk. Another chick had pasty butt.

I’m not sure if I should keep giving medicated feed in case it’s coccidosis, or switch to unmedicated feed in case it’s nutrient deficiency.

I’m starting chicks earlier than I ever have in the year, picked them up from a farm store called Wilco instead of having them shipped.

They also have runny poops, they’re on pine shavings, but I was cleaning out the brooder and put them in a box with paper towels.

I put a tsp of ACV in a quart of water.
